Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such bum is most likely a ganglion cyst. This kind of lump is filled with clear liquid as the cyst has connection with a joint. There is no risk in leaving it alone, however sometimes it can cause a pain.
If you have any doubts, please consult general surgeon and have an ultrasound of this area done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
